I have a 96 Cobra with just under 90k miles.
The serpentine belt broke on the highway the other day (kinda scary losing most of the steering and brakes on a mountain road), I drove it about 1/2 mile to get it off the road; something (smoke/steam) was spewing out of the back. I had it towed to the dealer the next day. They replaced the belt, and did some 90k service stuff (new plugs, plug wires, fluids), and now they tell me that car idles ok but has no power ("chokes out") when hitting the gas (or turning on the a/c). They've spent the past week trying to diagnose to no avail.

Any ideas ?

thx -pg-
